Yoder Responds to Administrations Rejection of Keystone XL Pipeline | 2015-11-06 | 2015 | 2015-11 | Republican | House | KS | Kevin Yoder | Y000063 | yoder.house.gov | legacy | Overland Park, KS Today, the Obama Administration announced its formal rejection of the Keystone XL Pipeline, which Congress voted to authorize in a bipartisan, bicameral fashion in February. Representative Kevin Yoder (R-KS) issued the following statement in response to the announcement: Im disappointed the Obama Administration has yet again placed partisan political ideology over thousands of new American jobs and another step towards American energy independence. Congress has spoken clearly in a united fashion on this issue and even President Obamas own State Department concluded almost two years ago the pipeline wouldnt alter global greenhouse gas emissions. Theres no viable reason for todays decision. Its time to build. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
